Rodney Trotter for Mayor

Can you imagine the turmoil if Rodney Trotter ran for the appointment of Mayor?
But this is almost the bizarre situation that is currently taking place in Serbia. The Town Hall leader Igor Pavlicic has been dubbed ‘Rodney’ by local critics due to his resemblance to our famous Fools and Horses character from Peckham.

Personally I can’t quite see the resemblance, but others think his long lanky look is the spitting image to such a degree that they have even used posters featuring actor Nicholas Lindhurst, who plays Del Boy’s hapless brother. The posters are plastered all over the Balkan country’s second largest city, Novi Sad.

Igor Pavlicic is worried the poster campaign will damage his reputation in the city due to the huge popularity of the show in Serbia. With the fans of the show having a strong following of the BBC sitcom they have in mind the claims from the rival party where they claim the 42-year’s dodgy deals and ducking and diving make him similar to his alter-ego.

Would you want Rodney Trotter for Mayor or come to think of it even to be compared to Rodney is bad enough!

Rodney Trotter for Mayor in Serbia sounds bizarre but you would think the campaign is out of a Only Fools and Horses episode with Del Boy making some money out of it somewhere!

This is a completely stupid idea. Theres only one person suited for the job and thats Major Quimby. Hes got the looks the charm plus fan base. Whats old rodney got a few GCE’S and one hell of a water bill

Lol at comment above. OFAH is hugely popular in Serbia. I remember first time I saw that show, 15 years ago on a telly (in colour). I think I watched every episode at least 5 times :). Btw. that poster does not make any sense to me, what were they implying? Rodney never wanted to have a part in any shady business…
